Synopsis

Back To The Future meets Call My Agent in this enthralling high-concept debut novel from Channel 4 F1 presenter Steve Jones.

‘Joyously unpredictable, clever, witty and warm. Gorgeous!’ RUTH JONES

'A great read. A born writer' LORRAINE KELLY

---

ONE CALL CAN CHANGE YOUR PAST.
AND F***-UP EVERYONE’S FUTURE . . .

Bob Bloomfield is not a nice man.
It’s kind of his brand.
The reason his celebrity clients pay him the big bucks.
And definitely not some messed up way of dealing with a terrible childhood tragedy

But then he finds a freaky ‘80s mobile phone.
One that can dial up the past.
And give him a chance to put things right.
Only Bob has forgotten one key detail:
he’s the last person you’d bank on doing the right thing …

---

PRAISE FOR STEVE JONES:

‘Funny, fast-paced and moving’ SATURDAY LIVE

‘Fantastic! Love it. Makes keeping up with the Jones’s next to impossible’ JOHNNY VAUGHAN, RADIO X

‘Very funny … echoes of Nick Hornby’ YOU’RE BOOKED
